A warrant has been issued for his arrest in connection with an attempted carjacking earlier this month during which a child was in the rear seat of the targeted vehicle and was struck while attempting to escape, according to Ripon police.

One suspect, Luis Alejandro Machuca, 20, of Modesto was arrested that night and has been convicted of attempted carjacking and conspiracy with gang enhancements, according to Ripon police First Sgt. Steve Merchant. Moya has reportedly been in hiding since the incident.

The two men reportedly attempted to carjack a running Honda parked in the 200 block of East Frontage Road in Ripon just before 11 p.m. Aug. 3. They jumped in but were unable to operate it correctly and, as family members came to the child's rescue, they fled the scene on foot.

Anyone with information regarding Moya's whereabouts is urged to contact the Ripon Police Department at (209) 599-2102 or the department's anonymous tip line at (209) 599-RTIP (209-599-7847).
